I wanted to lease a 328i 08 but dealer does not have any more. Instead dealer offered to order from factory 09 equipped with whatever I want and would charge 800 over invoice. Here are the details I was given: Wholesale MSRP 2009 328I Sedan $30,730 $33,400 Jet black Beige dakota leather Premium package 3,050 3,335 Steptronic automatic transmission 1,260 1,325 Comfort access system 455 500 xenon headlights 730 800 Ipod usb adapter 365 400 MACO 300 Training 180 Destination charge 825 Suggested price $37,895 $40,600 I can sell you this vehicle for $38,695 plus tax, tags, and fees. What are the MACO and training charges? Is that something I could negotiate. Also he mentioned that it would likely take 6-8 weeks to arrive. Would I still be able to get the special lease rates being offered now or would I have to take my chances on what the market rates are at the time of delivery? Thanks for any help.

Replying to: nharsh (Nov 25, 2008 5:36 pm) Training is a separate line item on all BMW invoices Those are both on his invoice (95% of BMW dealers pay MACO). If he is offering you $800 over invoice, then it is what it is.. You can try to negotiate lower, but not based on those two charges not being genuine. If you order before the end of the month, then you can lock in the rates until the end of January. Some programs have a special 90 day rate lock, but you'll have to ask the dealer. If you do order and rate lock, be sure to get the dealer to agree to change to the new program, if it's better at time of delivery. The nice thing about ordering? You don't pay for anything you don't want. Sometimes, that will save you more than looking for a great deal on an existing car. regards, kyfdx

I will soon be attending a charity auction where a BMW dealer has donated a 1 year lease on a 2009 335i 4 door automatic. Here's the info: "Enjoy a 15,000 mile, one .year lease on a 2009 BMW 335i 4 door automatic Leather interior 6 – cylinder twin turbo engine Sports .package Premium package iPod and USB adapter, satellite .radio and Bluetooth MSRP – Purchase .price - $46,400" I'm trying to figure out what would be a decent winning bid on this one year lease, and from what I can tell the it's worth about $6,899. I arrived at this # by: $519 X 11 months = $5709 $3569 Drive Off for a 36 month lease, so divide by 3 (for only 12 mo) = $1190 $5709 + $1190 = $6899. I do believe the winning bid is ALL one pays; I would be shocked if the dealer tried to add other fees afterwards. So if that's correct, then a winning bid of $6500 wouldn't be much of a steal, but around $5,500 or less would be....yes???

Hi Car_Man, I have leased my last two BMWs after working with you and have made excellent deals each time as a direct result of your fantastic help. My lease is almost up and I am in need of the MFs and residuals for both the 2008 and 2009 328CI. Please let me know what rates you have for 12K/yr, 36 months term. Thanks David T |

Anyone have current MF and residual on a 2009 335 convertible 3 yr/ 36k lease? Ended up ordering a 2009 because I couldn't find a stick. Being told residual is 59%. Buy rate MF of .0020 but the dealership is quoting .0026 but may come down to .0024. Does that sound right? Should I be demanding .0020? New to forum and to leasing. Have learned a lot from you all. Thanks!
